The quickest route home for many students from the University of Leeds includes cutting through Hyde Park, a local green space with a notoriously high crime rate and, unfathomably, NO STREETLIGHTS. With daylight saving causing it to get dark before the end of a working day in the winter months, walking home becomes especially dangerous for young people and members of the community as a whole. Pledge to convince Leeds City Council to install streetlights on the pathways through the park.

Previous campaigns have been met with arguments that streetlights will increase loitering and crime in the park, however without a trial this cannot be proven. Furthermore, if this were the case a compromise could be made in which streetlights were installed on a timer set to turn them off at a certain hour, to prevent antisocial behaviour but allow the majority of park users to walk home safely.
